About a week has passed after Big Bang released its 5th mini album ALIVE on 29th February, and I finally have got enough insight to review it.
The reason why it took me such a long time to get enough insight, although I haven’t listened to any other songs than those from ALIVE yet, is because Big Bang’s songs are like a puzzle.

Finally, Big Bang performed its anticipated comeback stage on SBS' music schow, Inkigayo.

Following one of G-Dragon's statements from SBS' "Big Bang Comeback Show – Alive Big Bang", we want to share Seungri's explanation on why Big Bang focused on solo or unit promotions the previous years.
"The truth is last year, until we promoted 'Tonight', the 5 of us didn't get along well. I think, you could say our relationship was awkward", he started off frankly.
Then he elaborated, "All the members were hungry for individual promotions. We all felt we could do just as well going solo. Taeyang and I wanted solo albums. T.O.P wanted to do movies and dramas, and G-Dragon had big dreams as a producer."
However, the hardships of 2011 brought the 5 members back together and their bond has become stronger than ever. Seungri said, "We came together thinking Big Bang wasn't allowed to crumble like this. We encouraged each other to move on with renewed energy."

As you know, SBS aired Big Bang's comeback special entitled "Big Bang Comeback Show - Alive Big Bang" today.
During the show, the 5 members of the band expressed their feelings about their comeback, their new songs and so on.
While lots of V.I.Ps are celebrating the boys' comeback, there are still people who say that it's too early for them to make their comeback yet. The most frequent argument mentioned is that not enough time has passed for the boys to recover from the controversies they went through, especially for Big Bang's leader, G-Dragon.
G-Dragon indirectly responded to this by saying, "I can't keep hiding. Because this would hurt too many people, I can't do it." Then he continued, "Rather than saying hundreds and thousands of reflective words, why not come out as a changed person for all to see and gain forgiveness from them in this way. Because of such thoughts, I have thus took out the courage to step forward."
Was G-Dragon's decision right? What do you think?

The tattoo studio of 302 ARTWORK STUDIO released photos of the new tattoos of Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang.
You can see that both of them tattooed the right side of their torso. While Taeyang's new and very first tattoo is a cross, G-Dragon's new tattoo says, "Forever Young". Another tattoo G-Dragon has now is the one on the left side of his body saying, "MIND CONTROL".
Currently, G-Dragon has got a total of 7 tattoos: "too fast to live too young to die" on his back, "vita dolce (sweet life)" and a Keith Haring tattoo on his right forearm, "moderato (moderate)" on his left forearm, a dragon ball on his shoulder plus the 2 new ones.
